A cable operated left-hand rear brake system for off-road motorbikes and closed-course motorbikes consists of a handlebar-mounted brake lever, a brake cable, a cable perch, and a cable adapter. The handlebar-mounted brake lever provides the user with an alternative method to apply the rear brakes in addition to the existing foot lever. The brake cable is connected to the handlebar-mounted brake lever at a first end and the cable adapter at a second end. The cable adapter is mounted to the existing braking system of the motorbike. Therefore, when the user intends to apply the rear brakes, the handlebar-mounted brake lever is compressed such that the cable adapter pivots to control the existing braking system. The cable perch is used to position and guide the brake cable from the handlebar-mounted brake lever to the cable adapter.
